Probate Legal Practice Qualification
A clear, direct route to becoming a probate practitioner with practice rights.
We are an approved CILEX Regulation training provider
If you want to qualify in probate, our CILEx Regulation-approved course gives you the education you need to become a Chartered Legal Executive (Probate). You can study online around your employment and other commitments, with tutors who practise law to help you understand what you are learning and how it applies to the cases you will handle.
Alongside the qualification, you will need to complete the required work-based learning. Once you have completed both, you will be eligible to apply to CILEx Regulation for authorisation to conduct probate in your own right. We explain what that means below.
You do not need to complete CILEX’s CPQ or qualify as a solicitor through the SQE to obtain probate practice rights through this route.
“They placed me in the Tax and Estate Planning department, (Private Client). At first, I thought this area of law might not be that interesting, but the more I trained and the more work I did within that area of law, the more fascinated I became. It’s all about personal lives, drafting wills, lasting powers of attorney and helping bereaved family members to deal with somebody’s estate after they die. There’s a lot of problem solving, and we see new clients every week. I’ll be sticking to this area of law.”
